31 Israel saw the great work that the Lord did against the Egyptians. So the people feared the Lord and believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses.(A)

The Song of Moses

15 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:

“I will sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
    horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.(B)
The Lord is my strength and my might,[a]
    and he has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him;
    my father’s God, and I will exalt him.(C)
The Lord is a warrior;
    the Lord is his name.(D)

Pharaoh’s chariots and his army he cast into the sea;
    his elite officers were sunk in the Red Sea.[b](E)
The floods covered them;
    they went down into the depths like a stone.(F)
Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power—
    your right hand, O Lord, shattered the enemy.(G)
In the greatness of your majesty you overthrew your adversaries;
    you sent out your fury; it consumed them like stubble.(H)
At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up;
    the floods stood up in a heap;
    the deeps congealed in the heart of the sea.(I)
The enemy said, ‘I will pursue; I will overtake;
    I will divide the spoil; my desire shall have its fill of them.
    I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’(J)
10 You blew with your wind; the sea covered them;
    they sank like lead in the mighty waters.(K)

11 Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?
    Who is like you, majestic in holiness,
    awesome in splendor, doing wonders?(L)
12 You stretched out your right hand;
    the earth swallowed them.

13 In your steadfast love you led the people whom you redeemed;
    you guided them by your strength to your holy abode.(M)
14 The peoples heard; they trembled;
    pangs seized the inhabitants of Philistia.(N)
15 Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed;
    trembling seized the leaders of Moab;
    all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.(O)
16 Terror and dread fell upon them;
    by the might of your arm, they became still as a stone
until your people, O Lord, passed by,
    until the people whom you acquired passed by.(P)
17 You brought them in and planted them on the mountain of your own possession,
    the place, O Lord, that you made your abode,
    the sanctuary, O Lord, that your hands have established.(Q)
18 The Lord will reign forever and ever.”(R)

19 When the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his chariot drivers went into the sea, the Lord brought back the waters of the sea upon them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.(S)

The Song of Miriam

20 Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dancing.(T) 21 And Miriam sang to them:

“Sing to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously;
horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.”(U)

The Song of Moses and Miriam

15 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song(D) to the Lord:

“I will sing(E) to the Lord,
    for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver(F)
    he has hurled into the sea.(G)

“The Lord is my strength(H) and my defense[a];
    he has become my salvation.(I)
He is my God,(J) and I will praise him,
    my father’s God, and I will exalt(K) him.
The Lord is a warrior;(L)
    the Lord is his name.(M)
Pharaoh’s chariots and his army(N)
    he has hurled into the sea.
The best of Pharaoh’s officers
    are drowned in the Red Sea.[b]
The deep waters(O) have covered them;
    they sank to the depths like a stone.(P)
Your right hand,(Q) Lord,
    was majestic in power.
Your right hand,(R) Lord,
    shattered(S) the enemy.

“In the greatness of your majesty(T)
    you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;(U)
    it consumed(V) them like stubble.
By the blast of your nostrils(W)
    the waters piled up.(X)
The surging waters stood up like a wall;(Y)
    the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.(Z)
The enemy boasted,
    ‘I will pursue,(AA) I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;(AB)
    I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
    and my hand will destroy them.’
10 But you blew with your breath,(AC)
    and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
    in the mighty waters.(AD)
11 Who among the gods
    is like you,(AE) Lord?
Who is like you—
    majestic in holiness,(AF)
awesome in glory,(AG)
    working wonders?(AH)

12 “You stretch out(AI) your right hand,
    and the earth swallows your enemies.(AJ)
13 In your unfailing love you will lead(AK)
    the people you have redeemed.(AL)
In your strength you will guide them
    to your holy dwelling.(AM)
14 The nations will hear and tremble;(AN)
    anguish(AO) will grip the people of Philistia.(AP)
15 The chiefs(AQ) of Edom(AR) will be terrified,
    the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling,(AS)
the people[c] of Canaan will melt(AT) away;
16     terror(AU) and dread will fall on them.
By the power of your arm
    they will be as still as a stone(AV)
until your people pass by, Lord,
    until the people you bought[d](AW) pass by.(AX)
17 You will bring(AY) them in and plant(AZ) them
    on the mountain(BA) of your inheritance—
the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling,(BB)
    the sanctuary,(BC) Lord, your hands established.

18 “The Lord reigns
    for ever and ever.”(BD)

19 When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen[e] went into the sea,(BE) the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.(BF) 20 Then Miriam(BG) the prophet,(BH) Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels(BI) and dancing.(BJ) 21 Miriam sang(BK) to them:

“Sing to the Lord,
    for he is highly exalted.
Both horse and driver(BL)
    he has hurled into the sea.”(BM)
